A swim test is developed to demonstrate water competency in which a participant will be in water without a parent or guardian at their side within immediate arms-length reach or using proper USCG floatation device. Lifeguards reserve the right to administer swim tests as necessary. 

Each swimmer tested will be given a colored safety band to wear at the pool.
* A swimmer who passes the swim test will be given a green band to wear in the water.
* A swimmer who does not pass the swim test will be given a red band and issued a USCG floatation device to wear in the water.
* Any swimmer who declines to take the swim test will be considered a non-swimmer and be given a red band and issued a USCG floatation device to wear in the water. A participant will have only one opportunity per day to attempt the swim test.

What is the Swim Test?

1. Enter the water
2. Front float for 5 seconds then rotate onto back and float for 30 seconds
3. Level off and propel oneself through the water for at least 25 yards (length of the pool) on either front or back
4. Recover to vertical position and tread for 30 seconds keeping the head above the water
5. Exit the water
